One hundred consecutive patients undergoing orthognathic surgical treatment were interviewed concerning their problems before surgery, motives for seeking treatment, and the effects of treatment 1 year after surgery. Comparison with other studies was undertaken using questionnaires validated in such studies. Before surgery, problems relating to function were most significant, followed by esthetic concerns and, to a far lesser extent, social interaction-type problems. Motives for seeking treatment also related mostly to functional issues. Such issues were considered best resolved through treatment. The finding that functional issues were of greater significance to patients than esthetic concerns differs from findings in most previous studies. The difference may at least partly be explained by sociocultural differences.
对100例接受正颌外科治疗的连续患者进行了访谈，询问他们手术前的问题、寻求治疗的动机以及术后1年的治疗效果。使用在此类研究中验证过的问卷与其他研究进行比较。手术前，与功能相关的问题最为显著，其次是美观问题，而社交互动类问题的影响则小得多。寻求治疗的动机也大多与功能问题有关。此类问题被认为通过治疗能得到最佳解决。功能问题对患者比美观问题更具重要性这一发现与大多数先前研究的结果不同。这种差异至少部分可以用社会文化差异来解释。
